This is my go-to gift for one-year-old boys. I've given it several times and have heard back that it's a favorite. ( )

Simple, picture book featuring 100 machines-including vehicles, farm equipment, boats, etc.
Ages: 2-5
Source: Amazon.com ( )

This book is great for beginning readers as it pairs the words with the pictures - With practice, children will be able to identify the words without seeing the pictures (this will come after initially learning what each picture is).
